Crop, level (did blow some highlight here), and sharpen.

Took a lot of pictures on that day, this one got a little bit of blue sky and some cloud. How is the composition, is this look alright?

All comments and suggestions are welcome.

Hi Thanaboon,
Impressive sharpness and I love that you have managed to get some clouds into the composition. My only suggestion would be to crop a little from the top and bottom to make more of a pano crop.
Very well done!
Best,
Nicki

I'd go along with the suggestion for a bit more of a pano crop. Nice capture at a great angle. If you set black point and white point, the yellow cast will disappear.

Hi - David's repost is on the money - much better without the yellow cast.
Love the formation.
Good show:)

Did try to set black and white point in the OP, but David repost is much better. Still a lot to learn :)

Nice shot, I'd go for pano, also if possible post a bit larger so we can see more details.

Here is a bigger crop and larger version, maximum size allow is 1024 pixel right? Tried to do white and black points but the cast still there (I must be doing something wrong), so I applied blue filter.
